BANDSMEN CUTTING WooD. Dust had been banged out of coats and pants (nobody out here wears trousers) and in several instances attempts had been made to blacken shoes. These endeavors to assume a Sabbat appearance were doubtless caused by a knowl- lige of the fact that numerous ladies—white lndies—would be present. Conductor Erd- tmaun’s program was decidedly religious in its tone, two of the selections being Kollinson’s raphrase on ‘“Jerusulem the Golden” and ‘THE TROOPS IX THE FIZLD. Never since the war of the rebellion eame to an end has there been, as stated, so largea body of troops in the field in one campaign as that which has been operating under Gen. Miles at Pine Ridge and in its immediate vicinity. This morning the total number of enlisted “men in the field was 3,208 and the roster of officers footed up 192, a totab of 3.400. Large as this force is it is mach smaller than ular opin= ion figured it out to be, for estimates as to the BUFFALO BILL AND RED SITE united strength of the various commands have ranged anywhere from 5,000 to 3,000. ‘The fol- lowing statement will show the strength of in- dividua! organizations: First infantry, Col.

THE MEDICAL CORPS. The aggregation of medical and surgical talent at this place is remarkable. No matter where you go there are doctors, and it is joc- ularly current in camp that there are more medicos than there are patients. That is true now, but if the redskins make another break we may need more attention than even the large force now on duty can give. At the head of this organized band of healers is Lieut. Col. Dallas Bache, medical di ment of the Platte and acting medical if the division of the Missouri in the field. Neither responsibility nor excite thing else affects that dignity which belongs to Dr. Bache. At present, however, neither he nor Faure's “The Palms.” It would be difficult for Jobn Philip Sousa todo more beautiful work Yyith a score of his bandemen than that pro- duced by the musicians of the first yesterday. THE CHAPLAIN NOT ON HAND. Sunday was remarkably quiet here. Under ordinary circumstances there would have been at least three religious services in the morning, but yesterday there was only one—that of the Roman Catholic church. The Episcopalians gave up their place of worship to the wounded Indians. The Presbyterian minister is away. Just now it may be in order to ask, “Whereis the army chaplain?” AsI have before stated, there is gathered together at Pine Ridge the greatest aggregation of United States troops that has been seen since the war of the rebellion—in all nearly 4,000 souls—and there is yet not a chaplain in the entire outfit. Every other branch of the serv- ice is fully represented except the religious | branch. Incidentally it may be remarked that no one hax made inquiry as'to the whereabouts of the half dozen ¢ ins who ought to be here. It is deplorably true that they are not missed by the soldiers. 1 no-account affair he disarming was a ¢ but if it shoul chance to be s he looks as of a favorite das though hild.

A tall Brule boy about eighteen years of age, dians Lever sa walked into the agent's office this morning and took from his belt a magnificent 44-caliber re- volver. It was one of the latest pattern, nickel plated and perfect in every respect.

Members of the band do not object to exer cising their lungs or their arms, as the case may be, when duty or pleasure calls them forth, but they growl mightily when the noon- day concert is over. mind you, because theconcert is over, but because they have to drop their instruments and take up axes; must force chop firewood for their colonel: Tt has iways been considered the blessed privilege of an Englishman to grumble, but the private of the United States army has secured rights in that same line and he exereises it on every oc- casion. Of course, a bandsman. when so ordered by his commanding officer, must say nothing and saw wood; but that same regulation makes bo, provision as to the quality of the wood which must be sawn or split. That is probably ismen of the first were intent on selecting t cnest and least desirable speci- mens of fuel in the big pile of cordwood. The robabilities are that Col. Shafter’s tlre would urn with greater fervor and in an altogether more satisfactory manner if some other force than the band had the cutting of the wood. A JOKE ON COL. SUAFTER. Just now the camp fs smiling at Col. Shaft- er’s expense. The other morning the first's company officers announced that all men who desired transfers to other regiments might secure them by application therefor. Now, Col. Shafter has o: men in his command here, and he was decidedly taken aback when it be- came evident that 137—nearly one-half —wanted to serve under some other 1. For a time it looked as though there would not be any trans- fers at all, but it was finally decided that 80 men Will be allowed to leave for other soon as they are no longer men Ww not be TWO DUSKY BELLES. any of his assistants are overworked. The médical organizations of most of the active commands ix complete in itself, ena- bling the medical officer in charge to control his own sick except in case of urgency, when transfers are made to the division’ field hospital. The company of the hospital corps, commanded by the handsomest man in the medical or any other corps—Capt. C. B. Ewing—has charge of a reserve ambulance train—the travois—and such material as may be held for emergency service. From this com- pany are drawn attendants who care for the wounded Indian prisoners, and from this same company are drawn such men asmay be meeded to fill vacancies in the forces of either the division field hospital or those of any of the separate commands. "A soldier of the hospital corps hne heretofore been regarded asa non-combatant, and his red cross badge stamps him as such, but the Indian doesn’t know anything and cares less for the red cross; that is why revolvers have been issued to the followers of Esculapins and other gentlemen who made reputations as physicians und surgeons. Heretofore the hos- pital men have had only knives, and even these were intended to be used only in the shaping of rough splints and in doing similar work. ‘THE DIVISION FIELD HosPrTAL. ‘There are very few more interesting places than the division field hospital, where Maj. Albert Hartsuff—bluff, sociable and soldierly— reigns supreme, assisted by Capt. R. J. Gibson and First L . A. E. Bradley. The hospital proper consists of ten tents—five conical wall tents and five hospital tents, ‘There are other anves structures in which officers and at- tendants live and eat and sleep.

Just then the Indians around the agency to show signs of restiveness ard many of moved their tepees from Wolf ci to White Clay creek. Pefore anybody realized that some- thing big must have hay dalarge number of those whom we had ‘always imagined ‘were friendly Indians were mounted and raced back ward and forward across the rising ground north of the agency. Then commenced to fire on us and in a little while acouple of infantry companies were busily engaged in returning the fire. With some of my men I climbed on the wood pile. I did not stay there long, for two men in my immediate vicinity were hit and, of course, they had to be attended to. Somebody hit one of the hostiles, for he dropped off his horse and lay where he fell until some of his friends removed the body. Soon we began to hear that there had been an awful fight with Big Foot's band up on Wounded Knec. The story was of Indian orizin, for it stated that all of the band but four had been disarmed when the troops commenced firing and kept it up until the Indians were an- nihilated. It was almost impossible to believe this, but it was reiterated until we felt as though some horrible and wholesale crime had been committed. OVER THE WILL TO THE HosrITAL. “The facts in the case were not made known until 11 o'clock that night, when wagons loaded down with dead, dying and wounded came over the hill into our midst. Did we have too much hospital then? I should say not. Oh, it was a bioody scene. Everything in and around the wagons was drenched with the gory fluid. The groans of the wounded beeame shrieks as they were removed to the cots which had caused so much merriment. Twenty-nine dead bodies—twenty-eight white, one that of an Indian scout—were stretched’ out in this yard, while forty-five more or less severely wounded soldiers tossed and writhed upon beds of pain. It was 3 o'clock in the morning STINKING BEAR, FRIENDLY OGALLALLA CHIRP. before every one of the sufferers had been at- tended to and then we went up to the Indian hospital and worked there until daylight.” ‘The wards are ssrupulously cloan. and. every comfort that can be afforded wounded men is athand. Dr. Hartsuff anticipated the greatest possible demand for material and he is very glad now that he took ©o much stuff up from Omaha. Two of the surgical features are ex- traordinary. One is that fully half of those who were hit were killed and the other is the large number of those who were wounded four or five times. Had it been deemed advisable the wounded might have been placed in, the Presbyterian Church, but that edifice was too near the picket line and rather difticult to defend in case of at- tack. Should the weather turn very cold, and it isdaily expected to, that church or some other wooden building will have to be occupied; the tents are too cold for sick men when the mercury is about to freeze. A new frame build- ing, work on which is being prshed rapidly, is alongside the agent's house, and that, when com- pleted, will become the division hospital. A PUNERAL WITHOUT A SALUTE. The military funeral here has been divested of all its distinctive features by the disturbed condition of affairs. Private Stone of troop B. seventh cavalry, died the other evening from the effects of a shoulder wound received in the Wounded Knee fight. Ordinarily the dead frooper's horse, fully equipped, and with his late rider's boots in the stirrups, would have INDIANS IN THE HOSPITAL. Nothing in all this campaign has done more to suprise the Indian and to upeet his ideas of the white race than the careful attention which has been given those Indians who were — in the fight at Wounded Knee. As much has deen done for these as for the soldiers who are being treated in the division hospital, and great many of the indians evidently regard as & mystery the dual nature of civilized man—the nature which fires a bullet, or half a dozen of them, into an Indian'sanatomy and then does its utmost to get them out and to plag bs the holes. When the noble red man shoots a fe! llow-being | and fails to kill him on the first attempt he oots him again and continues to shoot until his victim is satisfactorily dead. This is the regular practice, without regard to race, sox or Lae ager Pema jon, and er peg by the white soldiers is a good deal of an enigma to the aboriginal mina. ‘THE INDIAN HOSPITAL. It isa plain-looking structure—this Episco- pal Church, now the Indian hospital. In its 1 oppearance it is perhaps somewhat superior to the average frontier place of wor- ship, but the denizens of a large city would not be impressod with either its material or archi- tecture. Outside the building are the pews. The wounded had to be taken in and the pews, therefore, had to come out. The first impres- sion of the interior, following instantly upon the opening of the’ door, is composed princi- pally of fodoform und appeals more strongly to the ‘sense of smell. When I first visited the place the emell, or rather the combination of smells, was simply awfnl, and toa great many people it was overpowering. This, for a time, was unavoidable, but a relentless application of hygienic principles has improved things and dispersed odors as faras such improvement and dispersion are possible. A STRANGE AND SORROWFUL SIGHT. The sight was a strange and sorrowful one. Festooned from ceiling and wall were the evergreen decorations that denoted a celebra- tion of the birth of Him who brought peace on earth. good will to man. Wreaths and crosses of the deep olive tints were. appropriately placed, and everything on the eye's level and above it was indicative of the festal season. The fading rays of daylight shot through the room when the door was thrown back and lit up the old gold and jeweled Gothic window behind the altar—the aliur covered with a white cloth—and glinted on the large gilt cross which occupied the center of the holy of holies. Below the level of the decorations was as heartrending a congregation of pain and human misery as ever tortured a sympathetic heart. The floor was thickly strewn with hay (since removed because of the danger of fire) and on this rough beds had been hastily placed, ranged with their heads tothe wall. On thesc beds were wounded Indians—suffering relics of that fearful fight at Wounded Kneo. Some were asleep, ono or two shrieking in a manner that denoted the tense agony, here and there was tim whose stoicism would not permit ery aloud, but weak nature would occasionally moan. Of the thirty that had been brought in after the strife and the blizzard ten had gone to the happy hunting grounds they had so often heard gf. Nearly all of the dead and wounded were Minnecongues from the Chey eune River agency aud every one of them were members of Big Foot’s band. SOME OF THE SUFFERERS. Nearest the door on the southern side was a warrior of about thirty years of age, who had been’shot through both fe He was in that almost unconscious condition that numbs pain, utterly oblivious of his sufferings and sur- roundings. In low tones he was chanting a Dakota love song—a memory of happier days— and he was undoubtedly living for a while in the past. No pain could bring @ sound from his lips. Alongside of him lay an eleveu-year- old boy, shot through the leg.

On the steps of the altar was the pluckiest Patient in the hospital—a ten-year-old boy. ‘He was running away from Big Foot's camp soon after the firing commenced and had he continued to run might have escaped without injury.

In the little southern addition to the church three alas, who claimed that they were merely visitors in Big Foot't camp, were com- fort:bly located. One of them is ‘a graff old fellow, who refused nd who «till refuses to let sny white man dress his wounds, which are in his hips. ‘The patient in the middle is a sixteen- old boy, who has a bullet hole in one arm and who also suffers from a compound fracture of the femoral. Last fail this same youth ran away from the agency becanse it was decreed that all the boys who attended school should have hurt less to have remained in school even if he did have to wear abbreviated hair. He —— as many cigarettes as he can get bold vating the Indian quality of silence under difficulties, but he was succeeding admirably. When the pain was not too severe there was a been a feature in the cavalcade, but it was not so on this occasion. It was not the time to mourn, it was the time to fight. The body was encofiined and placed in a wagon, and behind this rode a battalion of the seventh—troops A, B, and K. A Sioux clergyman, the Rev. Mr. Cook of the Protestant Episcopal Church, read the burial service, and then the body was laid away in a little cemetery without further cere- mony. The customary volleys were not fired over his grave because the sound of (a single shot would have greatly disturbed the friendly Indians and might easily have caused trouble. One of those little mysteries which are so numerous in this world of ours—a mystery which will probably remain so until the resur- rection morning—closed its activity coeval with the departure of life from the body of him who was known as Richard W. Corwin, sergeant major of the seventh cavairy. For more than twenty years Corwin had been one of the best soldiers in his regiment, yet none of his comrades could ever find out where he came from or who he was. The probabilities are that his real name was not Corwin, but no one knows what it was, He always said, when pressed on the matter: “When I die nobody will ever know more of me than now.” He spoke truthfully, dying at the battle of Wounded Knee without a word. A number of persons have written to he officers of the seventh, making inquiry as to Corwin, but none of the descriptions given resemble him in any way. He was a fine-looking fellow and about forty- five years of age. STILL ON THE ALERT. Gen. Miles says he does not for a moment doubt the genuineness of the Indian surrender, and it is certain that he feels as he talks, but no one can dispute the fact that the fortifica- tions are as perfect today and as fully manned ae they were when the hostiles were hourly ex- pected to attack the place. On the north side of the agency, on the brow of a table eminence, are two earthworks, that on the west side being occupied only by ‘a sentry or two. The larger work, on the east—known as Fort Dougherty—is somewhat irregular in shape, IN THE EARTHWORKS, following the crest of the hill, and in its northern angle is one of those three and two- = yeas, pophkis rifles bone artillery men hero ‘would 80 at in opersiive at half aroleni’s wie abe ae same line, and partially protected by. the banked earth, with its of logs and bags of gravel, are four tents of com- B, first fanny B com , however, Eas” nothing to do with the '’guar ink is manned by a detachment from # i : dj E bie 3 Fee E 1 F i ; | i I i i ge pleasant light in his bright black eyes. A scour. If I were to say that the next patient was noisy the expression would be a weak one. He was a boy of twelve, and his trouble had been caused by a Springfield bullet entering outside his left shoulderbiade and passing beneath the skin to the right arm, making a clean hole all the way through. A couple of hospital stewards were dressing his wound, and his howls were really deafening. A pale-faced woman, almost white, and more handsome than many a Washington belle, occu- pied the next mattress. Her father, brother and her husband were all killed in the fight and there seemed to be but little left to live for. The wound from which she suffered was most serious, her right leg being torn fearfully from knee to ankle. Amputation, said the surgeons, was the only thing that would save her life, but she would have none of it; no Indian ever will. When she was told that it was either amputation or death, she smilingly refused to have the eration performed and has since been wait patiently for what seemed to be inevitable a1 and near at hand. While I was there a youth of about fifteen came inand asked that a flesh wound in his left thigh be attended to. The rl saw him as soon as he entered and gave a joyful sound of recognition. A moment later other and sister were reunited. Two of the stewards looked at the boy's wound and were about to wash and dress it when the patient objected, saying that he would do himself; he did, too, while Faithful—that is hi sister's name—watched the p with much more interest than she showed in her ‘own case, The doctors say today that Faithful may yet recover. it etal i j i i i i FF A f | a s rf i & £ i # ik id Hae i i E i i i i could 1 I i af i TAKING AN ORSERVATION.

Such dainties as are easily procurable on the frontier are freely distributed among these sick ones, and toysand picture books have been | provided for such of the little folks as could appreciate them. So far as the church itself is concerned rood works have eclipsed doctrinal faith. “Inas- much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me” is the text from which a practical sermon is being preached during the twenty-four hours A COMPANY KITCHEN. of each day. The silver communion service is covered with dust and stands alongside bottles of carbolic acid and other disinfectants. The Bible on the lectern—Williamson and Riggs’ translation into Sioux—has not been opened for » couple of weeks. Behind the lectern, in- stead of a clergyman, is the hospital stock of tin ware, of knives and forks and spoons; in front are numerous buckets of waiver. THE HOSPITAL FORCE. The working force is ample. Capt. H. S. Kilbourne, assistant surgeon, U.S.A., is in charge. Assisting him are Dr. Eastman, a full- blood Santee Sioux; Miss Elaine Goodale, a Massachusetts lady and engaged to be married to Dr. Eastman; Rev. C. 8. Cook, a half-blood Yankton; his wife,a New Englander; Miss Shep- herd, a trained nurse from Sioux Falls, and a number of half-breed men and women. Several of the Indians who died of their wounds might have recovered hnd they con- tented to amputations. “The Indian profers to die rather than lose an arm or a leg. He doesn't like white man’s medicine and he ob- fects strenuously to the application of iodo- form because it smells somewhat loud, which goes to prove that although the Indian may be somewhat superstitious his nasal organs are in good working order. G. H. H. tetas wade A Curio Hardware. In the window of a Washington store is a train of cars drawn by a locomotive—the whole affair made up from articles in the stock. To begin with, the boiler of the engine is a roll of emery cloth with brass dog collars for bands, the cow catcher being composed of large spikes, and pulleys and rollers servinj for'whecls.” A twine cap forms the top of the smoke stack and the head light is an ordinary dark lantern. The smoke is represented ap- propriately by cotton waste, which is used for rubbing off machinery and which has the pleasing property of going off on slight provo- cation by spontaneous combustion. ‘The bed of this miniature railway is made of nails, with large spikes for ties, while the rails themselves are of the brass sort used for slidii doors. Alongside is a telegraph line, wi posts made out of big a with carpenters’ chalk lines for wires. For ‘fuel the tender is freighted with screws, bolts and nuts, the cars following behind with loads of mechanics’ tools and all sorts of other things sold in the store. —— Prospect of Wealth.
